Key Chemistry
pH Level
N/D
Active Mechanism
thioglycolate chelation
Surfactants
4 (anionic, nonionic)
Expert Analysis
Uses sodium mercaptoacetate as the primary iron-chelating agent in a thioglycolate approach, forming water-soluble complexes with iron particles. The formulation combines anionic and nonionic surfactants to aid in contamination removal while maintaining claimed pH neutrality for surface compatibility.
Key Differentiators
- •Thioglycolate chemistry approach with sodium mercaptoacetate as the active chelator
- •Ready-to-use formulation with biodegradable properties
